Mr.. AUSTIN FL. BROWN, of this city, is in
luck. When he was recently appointed to a
responsible position in the Treasury Depart
ment everybody who knew him here conceded
it to be a good appointment. Mr.. Brown is
an honest and capable man, but it was hardly
to be expected that he would immediately
discover and unearth an extensive swindling
scheme, as he has done. His immediate pred
ecessor in Office, one Oscar J. Harvey from
Pennsylvania, seems to have been thorough
bred scoundrel and he left behind him such
clear evidences of the fact that Mr.. Brown
had no trouble in discovering them. This dis
covery was made none too soon. Harvey had
been working his scheme nearly two years,
had stolen about $40, 900 and had his plans
laid for mnch bigger haul. He was Dem
ocratic reformer-one of the fellows who
came in under the reform cry of "Turn the
rascals out" It is the biggest fraud that has
been discovered in the Treasury Department
for a long time.

Cleveland's Prospects.
Philadelphia Press.


AS satisfactory the administration organs
appear to consider matters, there are still
some dangers ahead. The congressional cleo
tions of last year show that the Democratic
party was weaker than in 1884, when Cleveland
was barely elected. 1t has gained nothing since
then. On the contrary, there is reason to be-
lieve that it has lost much of the confidence Of
the people which it had. The sham in
terprerations given to the last Demo
cratic national platform have become
derstood. The business interests OF the
country have watched with the greatest
the encouragement given to the Carlisle Nor
rison destructionists, and that which it is pro-
posed to accomplish in the coming Congress by
direction of the President will make it impossi
Bile for the industrial and laboring interests Of
the country remain idle in face of the threat
of second term of free-trade administration.
Mr.. Cleveland can nolonger fool with his party
any more than 1t can continue to fool with the
country. The last campaign was conducted by
the Democrats on false pretenses That cannot
be repeated Not only the Democratic party
which itself greatly deceived before-but
the people at large will know just what to ex-
pect when Cleveland makes second term race

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Reference has been made several times, lately,
to Lincoln's great speech at Gettysburg. You
will confer favor on many of your readers if
you will publish the speech in the Journal
Hundreds of your readers have never read it,
and thousands of them would like to cut out a
copy and lay it by for reference on occasion.
DANvILLE, July 9. READER
The speech was delivered at Gettysburg, Nov.
10. 1863, and is follows:
'sFour score and seven years ago our fathers
conceived in liberty and dedicated to the pro-
position that all men created equal Now
engaged In great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We
met on great battlefield of that war; We
have come to dedicate portion of that field as
q final resting place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live. 1t is
altogether fitting and proper that we should do
this. But in larger sense we cannot dedicate,
we cannot consecrate, we cannot halow this
ground The brave men, living and dead. who
struggled here, have consecrated it far above
our power to add or detract The world will
little note. nor long remember what We say
here; but it can never forget what they did here.
II is for us. the living. rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far SO nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us; that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion to that
cause for which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly resolve that
these dead shall not have died in vain: that this
nation, under God, shall have new birth of
freedom; and that government of the people by
the people and for the people shall not perish
from the EARTH"

Notwithstanding the fact that the sheriffs
and police made large seizures Saturday night
and SUNDAY, enough LIQUOR was on sale Monday
to make several hundred drunk In some parts
of the city the scenes were disgraceful. Drunken
men were laid up the sidewalks and door
steps in all directions In behring's Oaks many
of the benches were occupied by sleeping sots.
Around the custom house it is estimated that
fifty men were seen drunk during the night and
day. It was even worse about Gorhams corner
and tho adjacent parts of the city. The police
made arrests Monday night until the station was
full and could accommodates no more. Forty
drunkards were locked MP at one time Tues
day morning forty cases were before the
court. and many were discharged without being
brought up.
